Fishermen

The announcement in the Philadel-
phia papers on Tuesday morning II the
introduction of n bill in the Legisla-
ture to prohibit the catching of stur-
geou in the Delawar river until after
May 18th, stirred the sturgeon fisher
men up. The consequences of such a
law would be TO give a monopoly to
Delaware while the jersey fishermen
could only sit on shore watching resi-
dents Of other States ply a thriving
business while they would he deprived
of theirs in the beginning Of the season
when the profits are large. 1t would
also allow the the sturgeon to come
unto the shad fishing grounds and tear
the sliad nets to pieces. But no such
a law is liable to pass.
On Tuesday evening a number OF
sturgeon fishermen 10 this vicinity met
in Geo. H.. Elkintons offce to take &C.
ton against the bill. The ten or doz-
en- firms gave a dollar each to defray
the expenses of II committee to go to
Trenton to explain the bad effect should
such become a law and instruct the
representatives from this aud n%eigh0or-
ing counties to defeat it. The Ped
ricktown fishermen also helped pay the
expenses Of the committee. Joseph K.
Elkinton and Henry Blohm were APP
pointed to 90 on the mission. They
left Oh Wednesday morning for Trel'-
ton.
The committee returned on Thurs
day and repo ted that the bill was I'M
der consideration when they arrived
bu when they told Senator Miller of
its injustice he had it laid over. Billy
Thompson, of Gloucester was pushing
the bill. He wanted the sturgeon fish
stopped ST. the sturgeon would
tear the shad nets ~ and thps allow
Uhe shad to come up the river. When
tn committee explained the bad effect
of the bill pledges were secured from
twel We Senators to vote against it.

A FINE GROWTH.
The Recent Assessment Makes
Dallas the Banner County.

The amount of Dallas county tax
able property for 1887 has been COM
pleted by Assessor Scott and the foot
ings show remarkable increase for
the past year, a growth which marks
Dallas county the banner county in
Texas, in point of wealth and pro-
grcss of development.
The total assessment is in round
numbers 1922, 100000, al increase over
last years assessment of $4,900,0O0
The next wealthicst county is Bcxar,
with little over S20,000,000, Calves
ton county coming third with $l9,-
100000, which was about its assess
ment in 1882. when the assessment Of
Dallas Co. was only Sl0000,000'
The increase IN Dexar county this year
was S276000, or about a nineteenth of
the increase Of values in Dallas county.
Tarrant county, with total assess
men: of little over $11,000,000, gave
an increase this year of S270 coo, or a
little over an eighteenth of the in
crease in Dallas county.
The assessor has not yet summed
up the totals Of the different kinds of
property assessed. The delay in his
report is due to the law regulating the
time Of the sitting Of the board of
equalization which, in Dallas county,
where the rolls have increased within
the present year near.y sixty pages,
making the the assessors returns nee
cssarily lac. When tho law went in
TO effect the tax rolls numbered 175
pages; they number now 450 pages,
and the assessor says that unless the
law is am ndcd to suit this increase
he cannot get in his returns as early
as contemplated by the law. $26,0O0,-
0 0 will likely he reached next year.
